This webpage isn't accessible from within the UK. That's absurd.

I have a Nexus 6P, and I'd trust the security on it a million times more than on my Arch-Linux desktop.

Yeah, Linux especially I've never downloaded and installed something manually from the internet. I get all of my packages directly from: pacman -S foo Or sometimes maybe: yaourt -S foo tl;dr Use your operating-system'

Could someone more knowledgeable than me comment on what Selfrando is, how it's useful, and how it works.

This is quite old news, not sure what it's doing here now, and with a clickbait title too.

Not everyone is an audiophile. If I want to store some really high quality audio, I'd use something like FLAC. But for general listening? Nah, MP3-320 is fine.

MP3 is really, really smart. Like seriously. Not sure why anyone would regard a patent expiration as a sign of its death. It should be the opposite! It's now free for everyone and in the public domain, and that is cause for celebratio

This could not have come at a better time, I've been looking for a fast, simple, pure Go key-value store. Few questions: - Does this have a log file? If so, what does it log and can it be disabled? - How is the data stored? (Single fil
